NOTICE TO BLACK BEAR HUNTERSIn order to ensure the sustainability of bear hunting, bear hunters are requested to:1 . Be patient. Don’t shoot the moment you see a bear! 2. Observe carefully and select an adult, male bear. Bears can

look deceptively large. Adult males have larger home ranges and will tend to be encountered less frequently than females and younger males.

3 . Be aware that there is no open season on any bear less than two years old or any bear in its company (i.e., the sow). Take the time to ensure that cubs are not nearby.

4 . Be aware there is no open season on grizzly bear or white (Kermode) or blue (Glacier) colour phases of the black bear.

5 . Contact the nearest Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development office immediately for important information if you shoot an ear-tagged or radio-collared bear. See Ear Tags and Collars section, page 14.

Small/Young Bears• Appear to be “all legs”.• Frequently look over shoulder or turn

around.• More streamlined, pointed head.• Ears look larger and closer together.• Neck appears longer and thinner.• Ears-to-nose lines form a skinny triangle

Large/Adult Male Bears• Stocky legs• Massive body with belly that hangs

closer to the ground• Slower, more deliberate movements• Large, rounded head (like a basketball)• Ears look smaller• Thicker neck• Ear-to-nose lines form an equilateral

triangle
